Real estate teams in Lake Hawea, Otago

I chose to work with Gavin and Bell regarding the sale of my Lake Hawea primary residence after liaising closely with them over a five year period. During that time frame I saw them become the leading sales experts for our eclectic local market. So away we went. Communication was extremely timely, clear and concise and openly honest. It's OK to have differences of opinion. In fact its a good thing to have with your agent. Finding compromise and having 'what if' scenarios within our comprehensive 'three option' selling proposition was part of our sales discovery process. Its essential that Gavin and Bell attended all the open homes personally. What you learn in conversation, post open home follow ups, and casual viewing commentary is and was critical for full discovery outside of the offers in our case. We picked the perfect time for the open home sessions with people everywhere during the peak summer season. We attracted close to 30 groups to come through over that period. The photos were 'money' and spot on to maximize the effect of the property. With respect to our objective of price discovery, I would say the offers received did not show us a true indicator regarding appropriate value pricing given the type of buyers coming through, ( many locals seeking to relocate), the competitive offerings and the macro economic environment of the Gulf Conflict. We did get good input into value from the buyer feedback, particulary with lot #47's empty section requiring power and water connections. Today's buyers want and need turn key solutions Here is perhaps the most important part of the review, through the process and into a period of post deadline viewings and follow ups, Gavin remained incredibly positive and continued to run the process after I had pretty much given up. As a result of that continued optimism and commitment, an acceptable offer came out of the shadows. Job well done, kudos to all at Harcourts that played their roles in the team approach.

These guys will go out of their way to help you. Doesn't matter if it's your first time or if you have sold a few properties before they are extremely helpful and experienced. Wouldn't go with anyone else...

Gavin and Bel go above and beyond. Amazing at communication. Friendly, down to earth. Very accommodating. Made buying our first home a breeze and less daunting!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our home with Jeremy and Linda, especially in such a tough market. They went above and beyond with their service! They were calm, honest, and easy to deal with from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process and we always felt informed and supported. They worked incredibly hard to get the right result for us and we’re so grateful for the outcome. We’d happily recommend them to anyone selling in West Auckland.

Working with Jeremy and Linda was a genuinely amazing experience from start to finish. They demonstrated a strong understanding of the market, provided clear and timely communication, and were always available to answer questions or offer guidance when needed. What stood out most was their professionalism and attention to detail. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and their advice always felt thoughtful and well-informed rather than rushed or generic. Throughout the process, they remained proactive and ensured everything stayed on track, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Jeremy and Linda also showed great integrity and transparency, which built a strong sense of trust. I always felt confident that they had my best interests in mind. I would highly recommend Jeremy and Linda to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate professionals! Will be using them exclusively from now on!

We found the experience of selling our home to be a very seemless experience, largely due to the professionalism and communication skills of Jeremy and Linda. We were always kept fully informed during the process. They both appeared to have a good knowledge of the market, good negotiation skills, and a very pro-active approach to find the right buyer. Helpful support advice regarding our seller obligations was also provided. On a personal level, their friendly manor created a good working relationship, which was very important to us. Had the house not sold, our comments still stand.
